Dinner in Dunmore East | The Spinnaker Bar

An evening dinner at The Spinnaker Bar in Dunmore East — fresh seafood, quality pub food, and a harbour atmosphere that makes any dinner feel like an occasion. The best evening dining destination on the Waterford coast.

Evening Dining at The Spinnaker

Dinner at The Spinnaker Bar is the highlight of an evening in Dunmore East. The kitchen produces its best work through the dinner service, the bar is at its most atmospheric in the evening, and the harbour setting — with the lights of the village reflecting on the water and the evening sky over the Waterford coast — provides a backdrop that makes every meal memorable.

The Spinnaker's dinner menu covers the full range — starters, substantial mains, excellent desserts, and the full drinks menu to complement the food. Whether you want a quick dinner before the music starts, a long evening with multiple courses, or a special occasion meal, the team and the kitchen can deliver.

Dinner Highlights

To Start

The Seafood Chowder (€13.50) is the go-to starter — made with fresh local fish and perfect with the homemade brown bread. The Mussels in chorizo and sherry cream (€14) are excellent for seafood lovers. For something lighter, the Greek Salad (€11) works well as a dinner starter.

For Your Main

The 8oz Striploin Steak (€37) is the dinner choice when you want to treat yourself — quality beef, properly cooked, a genuine restaurant-standard main course in a pub setting. The Seafood Pie (€23) is another dinner favourite — generous, satisfying, made with fresh local fish. The Beer-Battered Fish (€22.50) remains the most popular main at any time of day, and the Slow Braised Lamb Shank (€27) is the perfect cold-evening dinner main.

To Finish

The Spinnaker desserts (all €8.95) — Cheesecake, Crème Brûlée, Strawberry Mousse, Chocolate Orange Tart — are the right way to finish a proper Spinnaker dinner. Made in-house and worth leaving room for.

Dinner on Special Occasions

The Spinnaker Bar is a popular choice for birthday dinners, anniversary meals, and other special occasion dining. The harbour setting makes any celebratory dinner feel appropriately special without the formality (and expense) of a fine-dining restaurant. The team is happy to arrange small personalised touches for celebrations — ask when you book.
